Another great weekend. Looking forward to next year’s 10th. Here are some random pics.

The last of the unchanged fluids was the transfer case. The transmission has a nifty little dip stick but not for the transfer case. Way overdue.

Yep. I was riding his motorcycle and he was behind me. I saw you but I couldn’t get a wave off either. The little rig is getting out more and more.

Spare tire time. Luke got the swing out mounted. It must have come off a different year Patrol as one bracket didn’t line up. Luke fabbed up another. we decided to use a different rim off my 40, which doesn’t match but gets the job done.

Happy to help wherever. I’ve been a participant for several years. I’ll help with cleanup during the event, inspections, and happy to lead a little Relic (easy mode) cruise in the woods.

Congrats. It’s been a fun project that moved at his pace & skill level. The folks on the 60Patrol.com forum have been immensely helpful and where I’ve acquired a few parts. Sometimes it’s slightly annoying that parts are not everywhere like Jeep or Yota stuff, but that’s also sort of the...

The budget build continues with a badly pitted spare tire rim that came with the Patrol (all 4 were pitted pretty bad). I voted to smooth it out with JB Weld. Luke voted to weld it up then grind it smooth. Slow going.

Registered.

Only took a couple pictures

Action shot of @Roxx leaving his campsite ready to buy more cruiser parts.

Found a Cruiserhead/Patrolhead willing to part with a couple unobtanium parts - a dash cluster panel and rear tire swing with all the little giblets. Our last 2 big missing pieces. He tossed in various printed service manuals. Very cool. Thanks @dingoFJ55

Luke and I will head out of CLT around noon.

Spring is officially here when Rafael’s boycott on cold weather camping ends.

Cracked open the distributor for the first time. Could use a little TLC

Miraculously all the header bolts came off without incident (PB Blaster and little hammer taps for the win). New manifold and valve cover gaskets installed.
